　　As Ye Wushuang approached the three-legged cauldron, standing a full zhang tall, his expression gradually shifted to astonishment.
　　”A Saint-grade spiritual artifact！”
　　Across the vast Tianyuan Continent, Emperor-grade spiritual artifacts, corresponding to the Star-Plucking Realm, were already the most powerful existences.
　　Beyond the Star-Plucking Realm lay the Saint Ascension Realm.
　　The Saint Ascension Realm was divided into two major stages, the first being the Postnatal Saint Realm.
　　The spiritual artifacts used by those at the Postnatal Saint Realm level were Saint-grade spiritual artifacts, and the techniques were Saint-grade spiritual techniques.
　　For spirit beasts of the Houtian Saint Realm, they surpass eighth-level spirit beasts.
　　The corresponding spirit pills for the Houtian Saint Realm are ninth-grade spirit pills.
　　It can be said that Saint-level spirit artifacts are almost unheard of on the Tianyuan Continent.
　　Ye Wushuang circled the giant cauldron once and spotted three ancient small seal script characters on the lower side of the cauldron’s body.
　　”Skyfang Cauldron！”
　　”It serves both as an alchemy cauldron and as an offensive-defensive treasure.”
　　This Saint-level spirit artifact is the most suitable for enhancing the combat power of Houtian Saint Realm figures.
　　If given to Yin Shenghao, his combat power would increase by at least fifty percent！
　　In truth, Ye Wushuang also has a certain fondness for cauldrons. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have fused the Li Clan’s Liwang Cauldron back then to refine it into his life—bound artifact—the Qianyuan Cauldron.
　　To this day, the Qianyuan Cauldron has been fused with him day and night, long since becoming an existence akin to an Emperor-grade spirit artifact.
　　Ye Wushuang stood before the Skyfang Cauldron, clenched his palm, and the Four Symbols Earth Core Flame surged forth at this moment.
　　The current Four Symbols Earth Core Flame can be called the king among earthly flames, lacking only an opportunity to reach the level of heavenly flames.
　　As soon as the Four Symbols Earth Core Flame emerged, it instantly transformed into a fire dragon, a fire roc , a fire turtle, and a fire tiger , pouncing onto the four corners of the Skyfang Cauldron and lifting it forcefully.
　　In　an　instant.
　　At the four corners of the Tianfang Cauldron, four talisman arms rose up, twisting and coiling around the bodies of the four beasts.
　　”There really are seals here.”
　　Ye Wushuang took a few steps back, his hands swiftly forming spirit patterns, sketching out runes, and continuously striking them out.
　　He had also sensed these seals earlier, but due to their long existence, their sealing power was no longer strong.
　　Otherwise, even if he were now at the mid-stage of the Star-Plucking Realm, he might not have been able to break them.
　　After a stalemate, Ye Wushuang ultimately gained the upper hand, and the Four Symbols Earthcore Flames uprooted the Tianfang Cauldron, suspending it mid-air.
　　At this moment, the dust on the cauldron’s surface scattered completely, revealing a one-zhang-tall bronze spirit cauldron that exuded an ancient, weathered aura, lingering unceasingly.
　　With a wave of his hand, Ye Wushuang activated the Nine-Layered Divine Suppression Tower and stored the cauldron inside.
　　He had no energy to refine this spirit cauldron now, so he decided to keep it for the time being and see what else lay ahead.
　　Continuing along the passage outside the stone chamber.
　　By now, Ye Wushuang had walked halfway around the central ancient palace.
　　Stepping into a stone tower, Ye Wushuang immediately felt the aura around him silently changing.
　　Looking around, the inner walls of the stone tower were no longer made of stone but of soil.
　　On the surface of these soils grew various exotic flowers and rare herbs.
　　”Spirit Tooth Grass… Dragon Whisker Flower… Purple Sandalwood Thorn…”
　　One after another, exotic flowers and rare herbs grew on the walls, each distinctly separate without interfering with one another.
　　After observing for a long while, Ye Wushuang showed no particular surprise.
　　These spiritual plants were indeed of considerable value, but compared to the Two-Polar Flower, Karmic Flame Red Lotus, and Purple Blood Jade Mushroom he had obtained earlier, their worth fell short.
　　However, Ye Wushuang certainly wouldn’t disdain them either, so he directly scooped them all up, including the special spiritual soil on the walls.
　　Now, the first floor of the Nine-Layered Divine Suppression Tower resembled a lush garden.
　　The Immortal Fusang Tree and the Enlightenment Spiritual Tree, two spiritual trees, took root and grew, their canopies vast and sprawling.
　　The Kirin Blood Vine coiled and climbed around the Immortal Fusang Tree, even spreading outwards, brimming with vitality.
　　In addition, there were nine thriving Two-Polar Flowers, nine Karmic Flame Red Lotuses, nine Purple Blood Jade Mushrooms, and the Nine-Yuan Radiant Lotus, among others.
　　Along with the many spiritual plants Ye Wushuang had acquired through plundering after killings in this Burial Saint Cave, all were planted here.
　　Plus, the newly obtained spiritual plants and flowers from this haul.
　　Everything looked vibrant and flourishing.
　　It must be said that the first layer of the Nine-Layered Divine Suppression Tower contains abundant primordial energy, which greatly aids and enhances the growth of these spiritual plants.
　　Without Ye Wushuang needing to tend to them, these spiritual plants can grow safely and vibrantly.
　　After harvesting all the spiritual flowers and herbs in this stone building, Ye Wushuang was about to leave when he noticed a vividly depicted flower image carved on the wall deep inside.
　　Upon closer inspection, the flower was in full bloom, with several thumb-sized blood-red fruits nestled in its pistil.
　　Fruits growing from the pistil！
　　”This is… the Heaven-Mending Blood Mushroom Flower！” Ye Wushuang sighed as he gazed at the flower painting on the wall. “What a pity, it’s just a painting. If it were real, even one Blood Mushroom Fruit would be enough to restore most of my vitality.”
　　Sighing repeatedly, Ye Wushuang turned to leave.
　　But　just　then.
　　His　figure　froze.
　　The flower on the wall seemed to… move slightly the moment he turned away！
　　Ye Wushuang stiffly approached the wall and gently waved his hand, sending a light breeze.
　　The petals on the wall trembled faintly once more.
　　”It’s real！！！”
　　Ye Wushuang stared in astonishment, stepped closer to the wall, and tore off its surface.
　　A rustling sound rang out as a curtain fell to the ground, revealing the true appearance of the Heaven-Mending Blood Mushroom Flower.
　　Almost　got　fooled！
　　With strands of spiritual energy flickering at his fingertips, Ye Wushang spent nearly half an hour carefully relocating the entire Heaven-Mending Blood Mushroom Flower along with its soil into the Nine-Layered Divine Suppressing Tower.
　　Once transplanted into the Nine-Layered Divine Suppressing Tower, the Heaven-Mending Blood Mushroom Flower immediately began absorbing the primordial energy within, causing its petals to bloom with even greater spiritual vitality.
　　At the center of the flower, four thumb-sized Blood Mushroom Fruits emitted a faint crimson glow.
　　Ye Wushang plucked one without hesitation and swallowed it whole.
　　Instantly, the Blood Mushroom Fruit dissolved within his body, its pure essence spreading through his meridians, flesh, and blood.
　　The value of a single Blood Mushroom Fruit far surpassed that of ten Beast Blood Fruits combined.
　　The Blood Mushroom Fruit restored not just blood but also vital energy and spirit.
　　Gradually.
　　The pallor on Ye Wushang’s face finally faded.
　　Though not fully restored to peak condition, at least his body no longer felt as hollowed out and unbearable as before.
　　“Later, I’ll give Xuantian Sheng one—it should also replenish the blood and energy he lost from being drained.”
　　Ye Wushang stepped forward again, continuing his exploration of the other stone chambers and pavilions.
　　After searching continuously, many of the remaining stone chambers and towers showed traces of damage.
　　Among them, Ye Wushuang even found fragments of a sacred artifact, though it was already half-destroyed and poorly preserved, crumbling into pieces at the slightest touch, vanishing completely.
　　After circling the lair, the gains were substantial, and Ye Wushuang felt quite satisfied.
　　Once again standing before the main gate of the ancient palace, Ye Wushuang took a deep breath and stepped inside…
